10. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This Manual is designed to provide all necessary information required for operation of the Garrett

CS 5000 walk-through metal detector. It contains four sections:

• Description of the detector;

• Description of all controls;

• Operators’ responsibilities;

• Basic operating instructions.

10.1 BASIC INSTRUCTIONS

In addition to following all operating procedures as directed by supervisors the operator of a CS

5000 detector has only these responsibilities:

• Assure that the detector is always operating properly;

• Select Off and Operate / On modes;

• Regulate volume of the alarm;

• Read and/or reset the counter;

• Respond to all alarms.

10.2 LCD REPORTS INFORMATION

The LCD on an overhead panel of the detector reports information concerning the unit’s calibration

and operation. This includes program data, sensitivity settings, operator settings and fault indication.

A bright LED bar graph, easily visible from a distance, reports detection levels and separate lights

indicate ready and alarm conditions. All regulation and control functions are “self-prompting” with

necessary commands shown automatically on the LCD. The unit also features the capability to

report a traffic count on its LCD.

Exact control of the unit’s sensitivity is assured by a system with 200 precise and

repeatable steps for each program level, regulated by state-of-the-art touchpads and reported visu-

ally on the LCD. Improved security of the unit’s detection settings comes from a totally new system

of access codes. Two levels of codes eliminate the need for bothersome keys for locked doors or

other protective devices, while the CS 5000’s circuitry provides precise accuracy of calibration never

before achieved. Access Code #1 is used by supervisors for selecting programs and sensitivity, with

Access Code #2 designed for initial set-up and overall control. All settings are encoded by touch-

pads and stored in a resettable memory.

Security of the unit’s calibration settings is further protected by a non-resettable sequence code that

allows supervisors to keep a log of all changes that are ever made to the program, sensitivity or set

up, as well as any unsuccessful attempt at changing them. In addition, a tamper indication reports

any unauthorized attempts at access.

A complete and automatic self-diagnostic program is carried out by the CS 5000 each time the

OPERATE touchpad is pressed. In addition, the detector utilizes self-testing circuitry that enables it

to identify and report automatically the failure of elements that would affect operation of the unit.

10.3 CONTROLS / LCD DISPLAY

Large alpha/numeric display on the Control Panel, backlit for easy viewing, reports

(in words) all regulating, controlling and self-prompting functions of the unit. Because the unit is

designed to be “user-friendly,” all regulation and control functions are self-prompting with necessary

commands shown on the LCD display. Operators should follow instructions of supervisors concern-

ing responses to these commands.
